    Leaving, Unlearning & Rebuilding: With Zeina Midani

    She moved from Aleppo to Istanbul at 15 and called it "a second birth." She co-founded an architecture studio, built it for three and a half years — then made the decision most founders never talk about. She walked away.In this conversation, I sit down with Zeina Midanim an architect and founder whose story is really about three things: leaving what no longer fits, unlearning the beliefs that held her back, and rebuilding an identity from the ground up.We get into the parts of entrepreneurship nobody posts about — the mental health toll, the validation trap of a title in your bio, and why she now believes "working hard guarantees success" is a lie she had to outgrow.We also talk about:→ The inferiority complex behind copying the West — and what it costs us→ When a founder should actually quit (and when leaving is the wrong answer)→ Why following your passion can be the worst advice you'll ever take→ The AI hype bubble, from someone who builds AI for a living→ Being a woman in entrepreneurship — and why she calls it a "privilege"→ Faith, therapy, and learning to separate your worth from your workThis one is for anyone who has ever built something, walked away from it, or quietly wondered if they should.
